Bret Michaels

Bret Michaels was rushed off the stage during a concert in Manchester, New Hampshire on Thursday because of a medical emergency.

The rocker had only performed three songs before he required assistance.

His longtime friend and guitarist Pete Evick said in a statement, “I’ve never seen a look like the one on his face as if I was a complete stranger,” adding, “He basically had to be dragged off the stage in his sickest of conditions.”
